Legendary Creature — Human Artificer
Each creature you control that's a Food or a Golem gets +2/+2 and has trample.
Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, you may exile it. If you do, create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's a 1/1 Food Golem artifact creature in addition to its other types and it has "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life."

Strategy Guides
Tokens Strategy Guide
Token decks are for players who want one card to become many bodies and then decide whether those bodies attack, block, draw cards, or fuel another engine. This strategy wants to flood the battlefield with creatures, using token commanders, repeatable generators, and anthem effects, to win through a go wide attack or by converting the swarm into damage, drain, or mana. Tokens is different from Aristocrats because making bodies comes first, from Counters because it grows wide instead of tall, and from Voltron because it spreads pressure across many creatures. The best token decks EDH players build reward patience against sweepers and careful timing on the finishing turn.

Artifacts Strategy Guide
Artifact decks are for players who want cheap permanents, mana rocks, and utility pieces to become one connected engine. This strategy wants to build artifact count and mana density, using artifact commanders, cost reducers, Treasure, recursion, and untap effects, to win through construct armies, loops, or artifact payoffs. Unlike Equipment, it cares about every artifact rather than just weapons, and unlike Ramp it turns the mana rocks themselves into the engine instead of only casting bigger spells. The best artifact decks EDH players build reward careful sequencing because each small piece can convert the next piece into more mana or cards.

Sacrifice Strategy Guide
Sacrifice decks are for players who want their own permanents to be flexible resources rather than pieces to protect at all costs. This strategy wants to feed creatures, artifacts, and tokens into a sacrifice outlet, using fodder makers, recursion, and sacrifice commanders, to win through mana loops, edicts, drain payoffs, or a steady resource lead. Unlike Aristocrats, it is broader than death trigger drain, and unlike Tokens it values bodies mainly as expendable fuel. The best sacrifice commanders keep the engine moving even when opponents point removal at your board.

Aristocrats Strategy Guide
Aristocrats decks are for players who enjoy turning expendable creatures into cards, Treasure, damage, and life drain whenever they die. This strategy wants to make cheap bodies, use sacrifice commanders and free outlets, and convert each death trigger into value to win through drain effects or recursive sacrifice loops. Unlike Tokens, it cares less about attacking with many bodies, and unlike broad Sacrifice decks it is specifically built around death trigger payoffs. The best aristocrats commanders let you grind from small pieces while the table decides whether removing your board helps you or hurts them.
